ProCamera v1.052

ProCamera v1.052 Requirements: 4.0.3 and up Overview: ProCamera gives you a fully functional stills camera application, requiring no special permissions, nor redundant features. This camera application was created with picture quality and minimal processing in mind. The app works best on Samsung phones as most support all the modes and

features in this app.

→ For phones with Android 6 Marshmallow, please see note below

Most phones do not yet support Google’s Camera2 API, and thus can only save compressed JPEG files. In addition, most devices use artificial edge-sharpening and noise reduction algorithms which further reduce the quality the resulting pictures by adding halos around high-contrast areas and an oil painting appearance to highly detailed areas. This app disabled all those enhancements. JPEG quality is set to 100, artificial sharpening/edge enhancements are disabled, picture resolution is set to maximum and noise reduction is also disabled (but can be (re)enabled in the app) thus retaining more natural grain.

The app has been tested successfully on Samsung devices running ICS 4.0.2 and up. It may also work on a wider range of devices using CyanogenMod 9 and up.

* Pictures taken without noise reduction enabled may require retouching using an external app, especially with higher ISO settings. Processing on a PC can achieve far better results than the limited processing used in smartphones and tablets.

* Note: For devices using Marshmallow, a new permissions scheme has been added which this application does not yet fully support. As such, it will crash on launch. You must go into Settings -> Applications -> ProCamera -> Permissions and manually enable the permissions the app requires. Soon to be fixed.

What’s New What’s New 1.052 * Fixed issue with ISO speed in EXIF data. + Added Live ISO speed view, applicable in Auto and HS-Auto modes. + Added HDR mode. This powered by the camera driver, as such controls are limited. Some users have app crashes at launch. These next versions will attempt to locate and resolve those issues. Note: Changes to location services in app require restarting the app to take effect. To be fixed in a later version.
